Before submitting

Please complete the following checklist when submitting a PR:

  • All new features must include a unit test.
    If you've fixed a bug or added code that should be tested, add a test to the
    test directory!

  • All new functions and code must be clearly commented and documented.
    If you do make documentation changes, make sure that the docs build and
    render correctly by running make docs.

  • Ensure that the test suite passes, by running make test.

  • Add a new entry to the doc/releases/changelog-dev.md file, summarizing the
    change, and including a link back to the PR.

  • The PennyLane source code conforms to
    PEP8 standards.
    We check all of our code against Pylint.
    To lint modified files, simply pip install pylint, and then
    run pylint pennylane/path/to/file.py.

When all the above are checked, delete everything above the dashed
line and fill in the pull request template.


Context:
The implementation of method simulate is the most important one under the architecture of new API standard. The point of simulate, is basically abstract both the analytic version (controlled by shots=None, or infinite shots in a fancier way) and the MC version (finite shots). Meanwhile, the functionality of such method should not truly depend on our details of qml implementationi; they better only rely on either the fundamental computation libs, e.g. math lib and qnp, or the most essential infras, e.g. Tape/Scripts and Operations.
